    In a word: GREAT!

  2. grandma T Says:

    This was a little over the top, but she certainly made her point.

  3. CT Says:

    THANK YOU!!!!!! A WOMEN WITH SOME SENSE. Hillary can’t be any worse than McCain…Anyway she has so much garbage on him that with all the money she has she’ll have him at rock bottom polls in a week. At least we can blame a Democrate. At least we aren’t spineless sheep voting for McCain.

  4. E Dogg Says:

    Coulter vehemently opposed John Roberts! And we’re all up in arms that McCain made some off the record, unconfirmed comment opposing Alito?

    Anyone else catch that double standard?

  5. bjalder26 Says:

    Can I get an Amen.

  6. SDGOP Says:

    Oh man, she went bezerk tonight, i damn near fell out of my chair laughing.

  7. Big S Says:

    I would be thrilled to see Ann Coulter leave the Republican party.

  8. E Dogg Says:

    Watch Ann Coulter flex her foreign policy muscles:

  9. MWS Says:

    “This was a little over the top, but she certainly made her point.’

    That what Ann does best. But honestly, she is an embarrassment to conservatism. Is she funny? Yes. Does she sometimes make good points? Yes. But her shock jock antics and ad hominem attacks don’t do us any favors. Ann is like marshmellows or cotton candy- a guilty pleasure that will harm you in the end.

  10. Clarence Claus Says:

    I am for Romney all the way, but McCain isn’t as bad as Hillary. Coulter is just being a polemicist.

  11. Political Junkie Says:

    This is classic. I’m with you Ann.

  12. grandma T Says:

    I didn’t endorse what Ann Coulter said, but there are a lot of conservatives that will not vote for McCain. I personally would not vote for a Dem but might sit this election out if he is the nominee.

  13. Political Junkie Says:

    I’ll probably just write in Romney.

  14. grandma T Says:

    #13 That’s a good idea.

  15. bjalder26 Says:

    Ann is unapologetic about being a conservative. We need more of that. We need to stop apologizing, and accepting attacks against us for being conservative. Sure she mixes a little chaff in with the wheat for entertainment value, but she’s dead on with McCain.

  16. bjalder26 Says:

    BEST QUOTE ON MCCAIN: –

    “McCain seems to believe his wartime heroism entitles him to an unlimited moral bank account that he can withdraw from whenever it’s in his self-interest to do something dishonest.”

  17. E Dogg Says:

    bjalder26, Ann Coulter believes in a one party state. She has that in common with the worst countries on the planet.

  18. Paul8148 Says:

    Well since she proved to be a bigoted agisnt Jews then McCain should say go redince.

  19. Psycheout Says:

    Ann Coulter is all about Ann Coulter, nothing more. But as always, she’s quite funny.

    Maybe she can leave the Republican party along with Sean Hannity (who apparently already said he will).

    Maybe he can open for her at the Chuckle Hut.

  20. grandma T Says:

    I don’t remember the particulars, but in 2000 when he was running against Bush, there was some dirty tricks and McCain swore up and down it wasn’t him. Later he admitted that is was his campaign, but never apologized. Does that sound familiar?

  21. J. Martin Says:

    I’ll write in Mitt Romney too.

  22. bjalder26 Says:

    Not supporting McCain isn’t leaving the republican party. Let’s remember it was McCain who considered leaving the republican party, it was McCain who considered jumping on a split party ticket. I believe McCain will ultimately choose a split party ticket if he is nominated. Imagine Hillary trying to run against a McCain/Obama ticket.

  23. eptx Says:

    Also take a look at Joe Scarborough’s comments “what a conservative is not”.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViXv8KeemkU

    He’s right on the money about what a conservative is not. Is the Republican party the party of conservatives or not? We who believe it is must unite with Romney now.

  24. ThatLibertarianGuy Says:

    I can’t help but love her.

    Oh, and she’s right in this video, and I’d vote for Hillary over McCain, too, for many, many reasons.

    But I’ll be writing in Giuliani sparing a Ron Paul run, so, whatever.

  25. dblagent007 Says:

    Ann: McCain is dumber than Clinton because when Clinton gets caught in a lie, Clinton at least knows it.

    Nice!

  26. Eric Says:

    This can only help McCain.

  27. LJ Says:

    Matthew,

    You expect me to take anything Coulter says seriously when she argues that McCain is TO THE LEFT OF HILLARY ON THE WAR?! Dude. I understand having policy differences with him, but this is pure and simply a case of McCain Derangement Syndrome.

    I’m shocked that you would even post this.

  28. grandma T Says:

    I taught school for 30 years and I have become very familiar with the games children play. Many of McCain’s tricks are right out of the middle school playbook.
    The real problem is that McCain may have been a pretty good republican at one time. Actually I think he was. When he lost the election to Bush he went nuts and by himself he tried to derail president Bush. The only problem is that he took the repubican party down with him. It is not good to want something that bad. Now he is trying to get back into good graces with the republican party. The problem is that he sold himself out by letting his anger get the best of him. In my many years of dealing with people, you can never reward bad behavior.
    It is best to give them time to think about their actions and let them make amends and then lovingly accept them back into the fold.

  29. ben Says:

    Pure Coulter’ish: saying something radical to get attention……

  30. Ben Sauer Says:

    #4, doesn’t that seem a little disingenous? She opposed him not because he was too conservative. And frankly, he hasn’t been bad at all, but he certainly hasn’t been great yet. Why isn’t Roberts (and Alito for that matter) joining the opinions Scalia writes in every 8th Amendment case? True constructionists would.

  31. bjalder26 Says:

    #29 What’s wrong with getting attention for conservative issues?

    #30 “he hasn’t been bad at all” – “at all”?

  32. Matthew E. Miller Says:

    LJ,

    For what it’s worth, I’m not a fan of Coulter at all. But, I think it’s newsworthy when a large, albeit extremely polemical, conservative figure says something like this.

  33. bjalder26 Says:

    Get used to seeing less and less people defend McCain as a conservative. Also get used to seeing McCain fans slamming conservatives who call McCain out.

  34. Kevin Says:

    33, exactly. See how this will tear the party apart?

    Vote for a Democrat, blame them, come back stronger. 2008 should be for Republicans what 2004 was for Democrats:

    1. Nominate an old fart with no idea.
    2. Make sure he’s a loser that half the party doesn’t like.
    3. Lose convincingly.
    4. Come back ROARING four years later.

    Sounds like a recipe for success. Romney ’12!

  35. Kevin Says:

    *ideas

  36. ajay Says:

    I hate Ann Coulter and it makes me embarrassed to me a Republican. The fact she’d vote for Hillary only makes me more sure that McCain is the right man for our party and for America.

  37. redbmsky Says:

    #13 DITTO DITTO DITTO – hence it becomes a PLAN B movement!

    Go Romney

  38. cwpete Says:

    This is EXACTLY why many liberal & Independents have been crashing our primaries. They know how many of us feel about John McCain and I can’t say that I disagree with Ann at all. They been playing us like a fiddle laughing all the way to the ballot box.

    Since their primaries offered no delegates and are meaningless, all the liberal & Independent vote decided to gerrymander our primaries voting McCain.

    It is all working according to their plan. Wake up Huckabee supporters, wake up “Republicans” if there are any of you still left out there. It is so obvious what is happening here.

  39. bjalder26 Says:

    #34 So true. We know McCain will fail at reviving the economy, why give that to the Democrats? Hillary can nose dive the economy almost as well as McCain, why not let her fail, then come back with decades of the Reagan coalition?

  40. liz Says:

    Yeah I think McCain cracked some 8 years ago, too. In that last debate, when he kept insisting Romney was speaking some kinda code word and didn’t really say what Romney said he was saying, I mean, after the first 500 times McCain wasn’t getting it I thought, “Woo hoo,” he’s reliving some trauma and no longer in touch here. I’d vote Obama over McCain. Not Hillary, though. I’d sit that out or write in Romney, were we forced to that level of degradation.

  41. bjalder26 Says:

    “I’d vote Obama over McCain.”

    Honestly, I wouldn’t go that far. I couldn’t vote for Obama, he’s just too liberal.

  42. Steve Says:

    Matthew, you should cross this on RedState.

  43. Tier Says:

    26, Eric.
    I laughed. How does this help McCain? It does not damage him by any means, but explain “my friend” how this would benefit him?

  44. Eric Says:

    43,

    I’m not saying it helps him with hardline conservatives. It helps him with the moderates who will decide the general election. She is doing for him what he would need to do anyway, separate himself from the extreme wing of the party.

  45. FredsFighter Says:

    I don’t like Ann Coulter at all. Or John McCain.

    …Hey, where’d Thompson go, anyway?

  46. TennJoe Says:

    Voter Alert!!!

    Article on Newsmax about McCain puting a Mexican offical from Vincente Fox’s administration,and vehemently PRO OPEN BORDERS,as his advisor on outreach to Hispanics!!!

    McCain can’t be trusted.If elected he’ll stab the GOP in the back again, and make us the PERMANENT minority party.

    GET REAL HUCK BACKERS!!! Huck will sell his soul to be VICE PRESIDENT!That’s why he won’t get out of this race.

    It’s Romney or disaster for Conservatives!

  47. matt Says:

    mccain just won over another million independents!

  48. Diane Says:

    Good! Quite frankly I don’t think she’s the most honorable representative of conservatism. Maybe she and Rush can help propel John McCain to victory in ’08.

  49. Shawnie Says:

    That’s a great idea, I’m going to write in Romney. That is the only thing that will make me feel better.

  50. Shawnie Says:

    McPain is an idiot, the MSM, Liberals and Dems schemed to get him on top, knowing we would have to run from him. The liberals and MSM won this one folks. We’re a bunch of fools.

  51. Jess @ Making Home Says:

    Ann Coulter keeps going further and further off the deep end. What a terrible example of a Republican. Even Sean Hannity left her on her own on this one… I can’t believe she would say this, and then, when they even gave her a chance to laugh it off and say, “well, OK, I’m just teasing- I really wouldn’t campaign for Hillary”, she emboldened her statement once again.

    She’s such a sarcastic bitter woman. I’ve never liked her; now, if possible, I like her even LESS.

  52. joe gores Says:

    Ann Coulter is a very sick person. It’s her views or none in this world. Ann, suck it up and do what you want. Most Republicans will support McCain over Hillary any day. Even Sean & Rush will come to their senses.

  53. Joseph D. Walch Says:

    If McCain wins the nomination,
    Romney:2008::Reagan:1976

  54. Illinoisguy Says:

    It’s a little over the top, but at least she gets the point across that McCain is not going to have much conservative support which simply means he’ll get slaughtered in the general.

  55. PAconservative Says:

    Ann is an embarrassment to all conservatives. She visited my city and verbally abused employees at the airport, expecting special treatment because she was a “star.” All ego, no class.

  56. www.act-blog.co.nr Says:

    Coulter is a little extreme, but she is right when she says that John McCain would be very bad for the party – and that Consevaives should not vote for him.

    John McCain and Hillary Clinton may have the same positions, but McCain is far worse, firstly because we would be stuck with him (or a liberal successor) for eight years, and secondly, simply because he is a GOPer, it will be much harder to run successful conservative opposition to his policies – like amnesty.

  57. Dave Says:

    Writing in Mitt is PLAN B, guys. Mitt winning the nomination is PLAN A….GOT IT??

    There are things happening right now that are belatedly encouraging. Top Conservatives, and as the author who has sold more books than any other writer writing about politics, Ann qualifies, are now behind Romney the way they should have been a year ago. Ann told NCPAC a year ago that Mitt was our best candidate, then assumed everybody would come to the same conclusion and wrote about a thousand other things. Lesson: When you come to the firm conclusion that somebody is the best candidate for President….don’t rest UNTIL they’re president. The alternative is to self-immolate by voting for a Democrat in order to save the Republican Party.

  58. Casey Says:

    I just spoke to my boss, a pure DINK (double income no kids) who is also pretty fiscally conservative. He is leaning very strongly McCain. The very thing you guys hate is what he likes. He’s shown a willingness to work with the Dems and he isn’t ruled by the Religious Right. He likes that. He thinks the country has been divided too long and that McCain could bring us together more. If Romney gets the win he’ll go Democrat, hopefully for Obama but will hold his nose and vote Hillary.

  59. www.act-blog.co.nr Says:

    Reaching out to the other side is one thing – taking on their agenda as your own, and showing the finger to your own party, is another entirely.

    McCain would take this party way to far to the left, and it could take decades to recover.

    If McCain wins, the Conservatives need to vote Democrat, and spend the next four years finding a candidate to rally around, so that when the next primaries come, there is no question who the nominee will be. It is better to accept a democrat for four years, and preserve the Conservative position in the party for the next 30, than to accept a moderate who would seriously damage the party.

  60. Falz Says:

    Well, I’ve been saying this for weeks, I’d take Billary over McCain and Huckabee any day of the week.

  61. Joe M Says:

    #55: “If McCain wins, the Conservatives need to vote Democrat, and spend the next four years finding a candidate to rally around, so that when the next primaries come, there is no question who the nominee will be.”

    HUH?? And listen to all of you guys for 5 years????? NO WAY!

  62. Shawnie Says:

    New slogan:

    Why vote for McClinton when you can have the real thing? Hillary 2008!

  63. MNconservative Says:

    Thank you SO MUCH ANN! I agree with you 100%. You were absolutely superb on Hannity & Colmes last night. I give you big time KUDOS for telling it like it is regarding McCain. He’s a living, breathing disaster for the Republican Party & potentially this nation if he gets in the White House. Hillary’s my gal as well if McCain gets the Republican nomination. I’ve been a conservative all my life & I’ve never voted for a Democrat. However, I will do so if I’m left with the choices of McCain vs. Hillary. I would rather have my enemy meet me face to face than stab me in the back as McCain has consistently done over the years (& continues to do). He’s a liberal, not a conservative. McNasty, McAmnesty, McPain, (whatever you want to call him) is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. In addition, I would much prefer to have the country fall into ruin on a Democrat’s watch than on a RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) watch. He’s a living, breathing disaster waiting to happen. It’s my hope & prayer that conservatives get out in droves this Tuesday & put a stop to the McCrazy train.

  64. Shawnie Says:

    #63 MNconservative

    Great post!

  65. IowaHawkeyes@aol.com Says:

    Instead of voting “Hillary”…leave the top of your ballot blank.
    Focus your energy on supporting good conservatives from your local and state candidiates.
    They will need your help in 2008. As for McLiberal..I won’t vote for a RINO.

  66. Casey Says:

    Wow, I can’t believe you guys would rather vote for Hillary than McCain. Especially with the Supremee Court up for grabs.

  67. Chris Says:

    Look at McCain’s record and words, he is against conservative judges. He would no different than Clinton on judges.

  68. Shawnie Says:

    Here it comes: the next MSM wave. Good-bye McClinton!

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/01/iraq.main/index.html

  69. Greg Alterton Says:

    It’s now clear that Coulter believes in nothing but Coulter (as if there was any doubt before).

    How many other conservative pundits and running mouths on radio think the same way she does? For these people, Bill Clinton was a gold mine. They see Hillary as their ticket back into wealth and notoriety. Why, there are probably a bunch of Rush wannabees out their in the weeds who see a Hillary presidency as their ticket to fame and fortune.

    I’m increasingly seeing McCain’s nomination as the best way to not only defeat the Clintons (or Obama), but as the way to sweep the nitwit unappeasables out of the Party.
